More than 60 Carson High School (CHS) Seniors were recognized Thursday night for collectively earning $1.4 million in scholarships. Their accomplishments were celebrated in an awards ceremony, May 17, at Senator Square at the high school, which highlighted the academic success of the Class of 2018.

"These students are well prepared when they leave Carson High School, and these scholarship awards are a testament to that," CHS Principal Tasha Fuson said. "We have students going on to military, technical schools, community colleges and major universities. We applaud all the local organizations and community support who’ve made a lot of these scholarships possible. The Class of 2018 has really embraced the opportunities available to them, and I couldn't be more proud. I am excited about their futures and what they will do after high school."

Nicole Van Geel earned the largest accumulative total in scholarships, valued at $355,000. And Chris Berggren earned the largest single scholarship from the Army ROTC, valued at $186,000, with an accumulative total of nearly $300,000.
